Residents may sign up for the new composting program at drop-off locations, collect food scraps using a sealed container, then bring collected materials to green carts at the drop-off sites. Food scraps are then delivered to a composting facility where they are processed into nutrient-rich compost used to supplement and improve soil. Participants may compost all types of food scraps, including meat, bones, dairy, produce, and old leftovers.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative marks one of the many sustainable development projects taken on by Chicago, as the city works to expand natural habitats, improve the environmental performance of development sites, and promote the local food system. Although compost programs involve considerable upfront costs, decreasing the amount of organic waste put in landfills may save taxpayers in landfill fees. In 2019, the average cost of landfill solid waste in the U.S. was $55 per ton, resulting in billions of dollars spent on waste management. If successfully implemented, Chicago\u2019s new program may result in cost savings for the city.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago\u2019s composting program follows a similar effort in New York City, which is implementing a mandatory composting program expected to be citywide by 2025. Nine states have also reportedly enacted laws within the past decade in order to divert food waste, with varying levels of requirements and opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentenergyleader.com\/2023\/10\/chicago-launches-citywide-composting-initiative\/\">Environment Energy Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-421\/\">Chicago Launches Citywide Composting Initiative<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11882,4969,575],"class_list":["post-117780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-chicago","tag-composting","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117780\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
